TAURANGA INTERNATIONAL MARATHON

22 SEPT 2018

The Tauranga International Marathon: It's not like any other marathon event. Well, you can still run/walk 42.2km, 21.1km, 10.5km or 6km—plus there’s a kids (and parents!) dash. But here’s the clincher—it’s the first ever international marathon event to be held in New Zealand’s sunshine capital. Think sea, sun, surf; think cafés, culture and seriously cool stuff; think fast, flat, fun.

Festival

A FESTIVAL LIKE NO OTHER

This will be a running and walking festival like no other, celebrating Tauranga's best spaces and places. With a run or walk distance for all and vistas to take your breath away, this is the one you have been waiting for—FAST, FLAT, FUN in NZ's sunshine capital!

Get your friends, family and work-mates together, we'll see you on the start-line!

Why Tauranga

WHY TAURANGA

We thought: ‘Let’s add an international marathon to the city by the sea where the skies are blue, the air is warm, the harbour sparkles and the lifestyle is pure chill out’.

Tauranga might mean a place of rest or anchorage, but we thought we’d add some pace to the place and share a slice of New Zealand with people who like to get out and do stuff with their mates, family and the friends you’ll make on the way.
